Brindell Indicted In Trust Probe In New York Labor Case
Brindell labeled a powerful labor figure as indictments hinge on payoffs cited from Builders and union officials. Builders testified Brindell refused small offers and controlled the 115000-member Building Trades Council. He serves as business agent for the Derby builders union with about 47000 members, earning an estimated $30000 a year from dues routed to him. Brindell rose from dockworker to labor leader, organizing workers and directing a council marked by turmoil and expulsions within unions allied to the AFL. The Parks extortion case tied to Brindell connects to a broader pattern of alleged payoffs and control in the labor movement.
